| As
the pharaohs wielded little power to the masses, civil war
broke out. Many clashes occur along the separate kingdom
borders. Anarchy begins and Egypt begins to weaken. Some of
the nobles in Thebes declare themselves as the rightful
heirs to the throne. In addition, tomb robbing also has its
origin as well as the beginning of diverse literature. |
